Hahah brilliant! Is that Joss on the voiceover at the beginning. I think it might be. Doesn't look like any webseries i've ever seen, I mean moving-vehicle stunts, people flying through the air, I couldn't be more excited.

I'm with aus-mitch and SNT on it being Joss. Seems especially so at the end of the intro. Either that, or one of his brothers sounds suspiciously like him. (Of course, this is coming from the guy who thought that it was Nathan in Session 416.)

The voice over does sound a bit like Joss. And bix, that absolutely is David Fury. I could be wrong, but I think the female news anchor is Marti Noxon. It's such a quick clip that it's kinda hard to tell, even paused, but the anchor does look like her, and she mentioned at the Buffy Reunion that she has a cameo in Dr. Horrible. Plus it'd just be cute if Marti and David were co-anchors.

I was convinced the voice-over was Joss. Great gravitas! Hopefully that's not the mysterious banned phrase. (By the way what is it because now I want to use it. ;) I am also finding the teaser strangely addicting. Can't wait for the whole thing.

Okay, so yup, this made my night, which is quite awesome, since I'm sick. Yup, definitely David and Marti, and I too think that the voiceover was Joss.

I liked the rating, approved for all audiences by "The Motion Picture Association Of My House, Inc." Even that small touch made me gleeful.

I shall say it backward, b!x: eeeeeeeeuqs. Kind of like how Xela Cebert bans a certain Jeopardy! host to the place from whence he came. Thus the cleaning ritual has been done. Your heartfelt gratitude is all I need. ;)

I'm smiling at my computer like there's no tomorrow (and tomorrow is looking to be a very stressful day so that actually means something). I'm so so so excited =) My first reason to smile today. Lalalaaa~

Awesome! Joss never fails to deliver! Joss' voice over is hilarious. Nathan looks all glorified and gorgeous on the moving van. Felicia looks very sweet and Neil Patrick is epic, literally. That one minute teaser was well worth the 1 576 800 minute wait. Joss is back and I'm feeling spoilt from all these portions of Jossleyan yumminess. The only bad thing is that I have to wait again for more. :( Am psychic and predict happifilled viewing days ahead. Yays!

I don't think that's Joss's voice. Doesn't sound like it to me, and I'm usually the first to recognize a voice (seriously, every time I watch an animated movie I go "Hey, that's Andy Dick", "Hey, that's Rob Paulsen", "Hey, that's Kevin Michael Richardson", "Hey, that's Paul Greenberg", "Hey, that's Kevin McDonald", et.c.). But who knows, I might be wrong. Anyway. This looks absolutely awesome and I want to see it. More than once.

Lookee... Joss got his bro and friends together and made a show! Way cool!

Something about watching the teaser made me think of the silent film days when film makers could just put a small cast and crew together, go out and make a movie. A lot of work of course, but free of the ponderous burdens of time and procedures that the present traditional studio structure entails. It'd be great to see such talented folk work more often, and in such inspired projects.

Seeing this teaser is so exciting, really looking forward to the actual movie! (Hey, the "teaser" fully lives up to its name... heh... )

Seeing that, my wee head and heart just exploded into sizzling bits of joy and anticipation. This is going to be gooooooooooood. Oh yeah. Between this and Dollhouse, I don't know what to do with all my anticipatory joy.

Funny how Jed's voice sounds Joss-but-not-Joss. It's a sibling thing. My sister and I get that kind of reaction all the time.

Benton, they shot on the Sony F900, it's an HD video camera. The same model Lucas used for the prequel trilogy (though I think Ep 1 was shot on film) By today's standards the F900 is old technology, but it is still a workhorse and in frequent use. They almost shot on the Panasonic HVX200 (I assume for budgetary reasons), the popular prosumer HD camera today that will shortly be phased out. I think they were going to use that with a Mini35 adapter and 35mm lenses which would have provided a more shallow depth of field, like what Joss is used to on all his film projects, but in the end Joss opted for greater resolution and color space, and I can't blame him.

while I'm on the subject, I think I mentioned it back in March when this all came out, but in case it's not listed elsewhere (it's not on IMDB as far as I can tell): Joss' Director of Photography on this was Ryan Green, son of Jack Green, who shot (among many, many other films) Serenity.

It made me laugh. Repeatedly. And also feel a raging desire to see the rest of it. Just when you think you've gotten clean ... :)

I have questions -- where did they get the epic flying-over-mountains footage? Is this available as stock or did they actually get a helicopter?

And also, what is the banned phrase that is not actually banned? "Who's better, Angel or Spike" a) I think *is* actually banned and b) at first glance, would seem inapplicable. (Although I guess we do have the dark-haired guy and the blonde guy ...)

Yep, the next day the trailer still makes me giggle unstoppably. Fantastic. And I wondered (after the 15th rewatch) if maybe that was Jed doing the VO. Apartment 4B is hilarious (his band The Southland is pretty good, too.)

We can still say "Suit Up !" though right ? Feels like it's just starting to gain a foothold.

The voice is definitely of the clan Whedon IMO but brothers can sound a lot alike (our own parents have occasionally misidentified my bruv and me over the phone).

Good teaser, plenty to grab onto but no obvious spoilers. NPH was funny as hell but just seeing Nathan striking the banana on top of the van was compressed hilarity, willing to bet that he had a blast taking the piss out of himself and the hero stereotype and i'd double down that every bit of it comes across on screen. And as others have said, that's without even any music.

I've just done a quick google and nothing comes up that I can link to (so maybe this is just in my head ;) but in super-hero art the standard "splash page" Ta Da ! pose is sometimes called the "banana pose" because you draw the hero standing in the rough shape of a banana i.e. shoulders slightly back, curving out to the waist and then back in for the legs.

No idea why that pose is chosen (maybe to make 2D art look 3 dimensional ? Though it's also not lost on me that the hero is basically sticking his crotch out of the page ;) but Nathan on the van is pretty much a classic "banana".

Saje, as long as he wasn't striking a banana hammock, I'm grateful. Especially since that seems to be more of a super villain thing. ;)

Ironically, my brain had already forgotten about the schmejenfairy phrase, probably as a preventative measure to protect it from going the same way as b!x's. The eeeeeuqs word still makes me kciuqs a little, though.

I'm actually kind of okay with the fact that there was no music, since I would be dissatisfied singing only parts of awesome songs until the actual release. Plus, if that were the case, my family would band together to kill me.

QG, may I please have a surprise too? I kind of lied in my previous comment. I played it, and it sounded nice, a couple of pretty pictures, but it was heavily lagging for me to really make out anything. Sugar on top? Cherries? Okay, I'll get you a fried oreo!

I find it unfortunate that they seem to have decided that Apartment 4B: Episode 01 needed to come down just because it's about two people trying to start an online porn business. I guess maybe they see it as a distraction from promoting Dr. Horrible.

Lame, IMHO.

ETA that removing Episode 01 renders 02, and to an extent 03, kind of pointless. At this point, they should just remove the entire Apartment 4B set.

Thanks, GVH, for the kudos to my false support. I have recently reviewed Dr. Horrible fully 7 times. It's hard to pause that bugger in certain spots (I wanted to verify the co-anchors of Fury & Noxon for myself). It was great, and I mailed the link to all I know who would appreciate it. Not a bad day's work of paying off sins.

One question though. Why is Felicia Day flying into the air and landing in trash?

Okay, second question. Does anyone else see the irony of the colors in this teaser? I mean, the "hero" (Nathan) is wearing black, while the "villian" (NPH) is wearing white. I know we're supposed to root for the bad guy, but does anyone else think the colors are "aiding" them in their decision to root for Dr. Horrible?

Great professional-quality lying, korster - I predict you will go far in ComicConic Mendacity.

So, I gather you hath checkedeth thine emaileth pouch... and had no problems with the attachment. You can review the m4v file painstaking frame by painstaking frame if you watch it in Quicktime and select "Play all frames" under "View." It's pure obsessive fun for the geek in all of us!

Yeah, I enjoyed Apartment 4B's setting-up-the-porn-business vid - hope that's not why it was removed - though it could well have been - and I hope to see it back up. Although "I hope to set an example, you know, for kids and stuff" - so maybe we shall not see its like again...

Re: seat42f and any other panel lists (and also relevant to Joss), I'm told the Dollhouse panel (since maybe people want to know this in addition to the Dr. Horrible time mentioned above) currently is slated for 1:00 to 2:00 PM on Saturday.

One of my all time favorite and very underrated movies does this, in the final battle with good guy vs bad guy, the bad guy is in white on a white horse and the good guy in black on a black horse - love the movie, Ladyhawke - I wonder if it was deliberate either in that movie or in Dr Horrible... interesting thought
